We do not expect any disruption of our services due to the COVID-19 outbreak. lnfor designed the cloud services with a high degree of automation, resiliency, and self-healing capability. The services are also deployed across multiple data centers in separate geographical locations for fault tolerance at the data center layer.

3. Do you anticipate any disruption to support service levels at this time?
Infor is committed to providing support according to current service level objectives without disruption.

4. Will Infor consultants continue to travel on-site to support our active projects? What are the alternatives to on-site visits?

Our workforce is equipped with laptops, VPN access, and conferencing tools to be able to work from home. We are committed to progressing toward planned milestones and providing you support and services through the use of online collaboration tools and technology.
